"Let the whole town wonder," I said. "Tell Faith that it's no one else's business who you love. No, it won't be easy, but we have time. Get custody of her. Let her get used to the idea. Then we'll explain to her that I'm friends with Ash and Cy, and that it's ok because you know about it. We'll explain to her that love is limitless."

"And that will take years," he countered. "Violet, all weekend long, we've been talking about keeping up this charade for two weeks. Now with the court date moving, it'll be longer - and the truth is that if I win, it'll be a whole lot longer than that. I suck at coming out. I mean, when I talked to David today - "

"What?" I gasped. "Did you tell Cessily?"

"No, and it's confidential," he assured me. "Confession and all that. I also didn't tell him I was in a relationship with all three of you. I just said that Cy had kissed me in an argument with Ash, and that I hadn't hated it." He slipped his fingers between mine. "He told me to talk to you, because you deserve to know. He seemed a bit surprised when I said that I already had."

"I think I like that man," I told him. "Luke, the three of us know that the best things in life aren't easy. But we're also willing to work for them, and we agree that you're one. The four of us work. I don't know how to explain it, but without you? I'm not sure this would be as good. Someone would get left out. That's why I like that you're exploring this. I love seeing Cy letting you in. I adore watching Ash fawn over you. I think it's sexy as hell that you're not running away from this, because I know it can't be easy for you."

"Why aren't you jealous?" he asked. "You told Cy that you thought you'd always be second. You aren't, and I have no intention of ever letting you feel like that again. But if that's the case, why aren't you jealous about me messing around with them?"

I leaned in, my voice turning into little more than a breath. "Because love knows no limits. I love you. I love them. Most of all, I love this, and I think the idea of you with either one of those men is one hell of a turn-on."

He caught my hip and pulled me closer, right up against his erection. "I think about you with them too. I'm pretty sure I had it all wrong in my head, but I would imagine you on your knees, Ash gently holding the back of your head as you lick every last inch of him."

"By the throat," I corrected, "and he'd be thrusting into my mouth."

Luke groaned. "And now I'm thinking about pulling him up against my chest, holdinghimby the throat while I make him play nice. Able to see your pretty little lips stretched around him as I take his ass."

My breath fell out in a rush. "You sure know how to get a girl going, don't you?"

He pressed his dick into my body. "Kinda think that goes both ways. You, princess, are a naughty girl, and I love it so much."

"So what are you going to do about it?" I asked.

Chapter Eleven

Luke slipped lower in the bed, dragging the covers down with him. One of his strong hands closed on my thigh, tugging my legs open, and then he shifted between them. I scooted up, using the pillows to give me a better view, and watched this man's eyes hang on my pussy.

"I think I'm going to put my mouth on every inch of your body," he said, his voice a deep and sexy rumble, "and see if you really can be quiet."

I reached down to tangle my fingers in his hair, pulling him higher. "Oh, I know how to breathe through it."

His lips caressed the inside of my knee, and he ignored my tugging. "Baby, you aren't in charge anymore. Just lean back and take it."

Damn, but he made that sound so good. I also didn't want him to kiss me there. His mouth needed to be a little higher. I could feel my pulse pounding right between my legs. Thinking about him and those two men? It got me going, and I wasn't even ashamed of it.

"Luke..." I begged.

"Mm, that's a good start." Then he kissed the top of my thigh.

This fucking bastard was taking his time about things when I just wanted him to get to it! I tried to push down in the bed, getting the good parts closer to his mouth, but Luke just pressed his palm down on my belly, pinning me in place. Then he made an uh-uh noise and kissed the corner of my pelvis, teasing me intentionally.

With a groan, I flopped back, giving in. That was when he finally moved his face closer to where I wanted. I could feel his breath on damp skin, and then his tongue. My legs opened a little more, giving him complete access, but he didn't take it.

"Now that's a good girl," he purred.

Fuck, those words did crazy things to my belly. I felt it flip, the smokey tone of his voice like some kind of drug, and I wanted more. Evidently, my cowboy was willing to try new things, and this? Yeah, him taking charge was sexy as hell.

Then the tip of his tongue teased my folds. He wasn't even trying to part them. Just torment me. I bit back a groan of frustration, knowing that would only encourage him. Then he kissed. My pussy had never felt so sensitive, and that gentle touch sent sparks straight up my spine.

Shifting his arms, he reached between us to spread me and then dove right onto my clit. It was dark, and yet he still found it so easily. Then he sucked. I felt my toes curl, and both hands landed on the back of his head, holding him there. He licked at me, using the tip first, then the flat of his tongue. When neither made me moan, he moved lower, thrusting that tongue into my body.

The heat was amazing. The way he curled it was impressive. This boy was working me, and I loved every second of it. His hand still pressed into my belly, making me aware of the blood pounding beneath his palm, and he just kept on taking his time about pleasing me.

"Baby, please," I breathed, wanting just a little more.

He chuckled, and then gave it. Two fingers slipped into my body as his mouth returned to my clit. Luke lifted up onto his knees, shoving his face right in there, and had his way with me. He wasn't gentle about it at all, his hand plunging into my pussy with a rhythm my hips desperately wanted to match. His mouth just kept going, sucking, licking, flicking and teasing my clit until I wanted to scream - but I wouldn't give him that.
